Teen arrested after shooting in Elkhart

ELKHART -- An Elkhart teen is behind bars for shooting at an investigator with the county prosecutor's office, police said.

About 12:20 a.m. Wednesday, investigator Dave Floerchinger was trying to serve an arrest warrant in the 500 block of Sherman Street when some people approached him.

Floerchinger identified himself as a law enforcement officer. That's when one person fired a gun in his direction. Lt. Laura Koch of Elkhart police said Floerchinger and his car were hit, and he was taken to Elkhart General Hospital where he was evaluated and later released.

Police officers arrested an 18-year-old for his alleged involvement in the shooting. He is scheduled to make his first court appearance today.
